SHE OPPOSED HIS MARRIAGE AND HER BODY is
FOUND COVERED WITH WOUNDS.
The little village Of Isip, l. l., was aroused to high
pitch Of excitement yesterday in consequence OF tue
finding OF the body of Mrs. Franklin Hawkins, An old
and respected villager The body found Ia the
woods short distance north OF the railroad station
The head and body covered with wounds, ndicat
she had beaten death and that there had
been fearful struggle. At first the authorities were
dazed and could form theory TO the motive for the
crime; but from certain movements and actions OF
young son of the murdered woman suspicion pointed to
him perpetraor of the deed and he arrested
An examination OF his brought to light quantity
blood clothing, which he had concealed In his
trunk and which he could give satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION. An examination Of the surroundings near
the spot where the body found revealed the freshly
made tracks Of wheels.
As young Hawkins had hired buggy on Saturday
evening from livery stable everything Indicated that
this nired buggy had made the tracks Tho buggy was
produced and In every way with the tell
tale marks left behind 1t is supposed that under some
pretext the young man induced his mother TO take
ride with him for the purpose OF numbering her. The
motive for this crime have been the strong op
position of Mrs Hawkins to marriage which the young
cOntem plating the prospective bride being
servant in the family Mother and son have had high
words about this affair and II Is understood that she
gered the and induced him to commit this fearful
crime. He Is twenty-five years old and worked as
clerk 10 a store. Mrs. Hawkins was widow and was
highly respected In the community.
